1. Planning has begun for the final presentation of our 1985
budget which is due to Congress on 15 January 1984. To meet external
printing deadlines, much of the text and some of the resource displays
must be prepared before the approved Agency funding level is announced.
As you know, the resource picture for 1984 and prospects for 1985 are
less promising now than when we constructed the 1985 program. We are
2. The IC Staff and OMB hearings on the 1985 budget have been
completed. We expect to receive fiscal guidance for 1985 around 22
November and also by that time to have a better fix on appropriation
action regarding the 1984 budget. The DCI-approved program level and
suggested changes will be transmitted to you shortly thereafter.
Presidential decisions for 1985 may not arrive until mid-December. We
hope any alterations to the program or the narratives at that time
will be minor. The narrative justifications and resource schedules
required for the Congressional Budget Justification Book are described
in detail on pages 29-35 of the 1985 Program Call. Directorate
submissions are due to the Comptroller on 9 December 1983. It is
requested that you forward 5 copies (3 bound, 2 unbound) of your
Congressional Budget submission to the DDA/MS by 8 December 1983.
3. Re CEC Overviews: We have attached copies of last year's
Congressional Budget Justification consolidated expenditure center
overviews that relate to your office. These brief paragraphs should
still fairly accurately describe the components and functions of the
FY 1985 CEC. We ask that you update these summaries if necessary,
and return them to the DDA/MS by COB 21 November. =
 4. Re CEC Narratives (Activities Description and Justification):
The discussion of changes that begins the CEC narrative will be based
on a set of CEC objectives that summarizes the programmatic changes
from 1984. Each CEC presentation will continue to display a table of
resource changes between 1984 and 1985 by major object class and
offices will continue to provide explanations of changes by object
class as described in the Call Annex (page 66).
The CEC objectives are intended to highlight enhanced or new
activities or ongoing activities that will be emphasized in 1985. We
have attached program objectives for the CECs to which your office
contributes; each should be specifically addressed in the narrative.
We are aware that a revised 1985 program level may change or eliminate
some of the objectives, but we are providing preliminary drafts now so
that you can begin to organize your CEC narratives well before the 9
December deadline. The narratives also should include several
paragraphs of specific intelligence accomplishments during the year 1
December 1982-30 November 1983 that will demonstrate the value and
5. We will be back to you shortly with more specifics on
resources for both 1984 and 1985. If you have any questions regarding
any aspects of the 1985 Congressional Budget Guidance, please call
